Recently Louisianans voted Bobby Jindal as our Governor. Only four years ago he ran against Kathleen Blanco and lost due to some deep-rooted racism (Jindal is Indian) and other backwards thinking.
Once the state (and nation and world) saw how incompetent Blanco was with Katrina in 2005, most citizens in Louisiana realized it was time to elect someone new, someone with fresh ideas and someone who could and would really attack the corruption in Louisiana state politics.

I got a pretty big kick out of Bibby Jindal's responses to the Presidents not State of the Union speech Tuesday night.
